V-Shape GBP/USD. Quite seldom occurance. Fits perfectly into currently VOLA / PA. Not tradable at all (for me). I think long could still work out from here due to open shorts from the morning to cover. Some biggies will use that to push market ...

V-Shape...mostly only seen on holiday move due to less market participants. Very dangerous to short due to lack of longs of the guys who shorted before (mostly uncovered shorts still in play). Just sit on your fingers before short - that is telling ...
